Bedside Smartphone Stand – A sign that maybe you spend too much quality time with your phone.

Every now and then, something comes along that seems to be telling us maybe it’s time to unplug for a little while. This is one of those things.

Technology is allowing all of our tech tools and toys to become smaller. Computers became laptops that became netbooks that became tablets, until we eventually ended up with the humble-in-size but mighty-in-power smartphone… and we still need something like the Bedside Smartphone Stand?

We admit there are a few bulky smartphones out there, and they can become even more unwieldy with some of the cases that are available. Still, if you need help holding a smartphone, couldn’t that be a sign that maybe it would be a good idea to put the phone down for a while? Maybe hit the gym and do a few curls?

If the weight of your phone is too much for you, you’ll be happy to know you can now enjoy hands-free video-chatting, reading, or movie-watching without worrying about putting any unnecessary strain on your muscles. The mount rotates 360 degrees to position a screen in either landscape or portrait position, and the 27-inch metal gooseneck flexes to achieve just the right angle.

You can snag this little energy saver/muscle relaxer for $49.95.
